Let’s face it, we’ve all had to get creative over the last year and this includes, Steven Branco who decided to do so head on. Prior to the pandemic, a regular nice for Branco was definitely spending his night either event hoping, doing a restaurant view, checking out a store opening or just hanging out with friends. Fast forward what has nearly been a year and boy has things changed. Events and grand openings are a thing of a past and takeout, in all its glory, is likely the highlight of one’s week. This includes city socialite and VIBE expert, Steven Branco. From back-to-back nights out to being stuck at home like the rest of us. But all wasn’t over, instead he decided to look at ways to continue to share his expertise with his audiences by going either virtual with events or ordering in. No longer assessing vibes, but definitely putting his well-versed pallet to the test. 

So considering Steven Branco’s vast experience with take-out lately, we sat down with him and he ‘dished’ his local Toronto favourites and what types of takeout food he turns to. When it comes to takeout or delivery, Branco says that he looks at this from a different perspective. “It’s not so much about the frills. When you’re dining out, you’re looking for a vibe…the atmosphere, people, music and food of course, but when it’s takeout it’s different. For takeout or delivery I usually want convenience, timely, fresh, HOT and more often than not…greasy and delicious comfort food. Not always, but I’d say 8 times out of 10. The best part of it all? Guilt-free. I just focus on the fact that I am supporting local. They need us,” and he’s right. 

 

Sushi Takeout Hotspots in Toronto:

Miku Toronto’s/Aburi At-Home

105 – 10 Bay Street, 647-347-7347, mikutoronto.com/

“Sometimes I am feeling bougie, looking for quality over quanitity… something that I can eat with my eyes AND mouth. Miku always does it for me. They have interesting, elevated dishes that are not even comparable to others in Toronto in terms of quality unless you go super highend.”

Must-have: Literally any of their delicious Bento boxes.

Must-have: Their tasting box has everything you’d want from a heart sushi experience.

Ultimate afternoon cheat meal snack available to order-in:

Le Gourmand

Must-have: Most definitely the walnut chocolate chip cookie, although this is one of the few places I always say there is literally nothing on the menu you can go wrong with.
